Hi!
Thinking of buying a dock and putting the tablet in the kitchen.
As it will not be used frequently, is there a software option to not charge it all the time, but only start e.g. below 50% or if I enable it again?
This way it will not charge every day.
Tasker is not able to stop charging, do you know any other app? My tab is rooted.
Thanks!

Hi!
I'm using the 'Battery Indicator Pro' App and normally I love it!
But as soon as I put it in the dock/cradle, the application crashes (multiple times), even with USB transfer mode off
Anyone else experiences this? Can I help it somehow? I don't want to get rid of the app but I use the dock daily and this matter is annoying...
Thanks!
Hey,
Just got one of these.
Got me a 64Gb TF201 for work/play.
Is there someway to tell it to keep the screen on when the keyboard is connected, instead of just setting the display to never turn off in settings.
Also can you set it to automatically turn on when you open it and automatically turn off when you close it, when it is docked to the keyboard that is?
Thanks
If you leave the dock connected to your PC or power all the time, you could check the box under Developer options "Stay awake".
Also, when docked, the tablet currently turns on when you open it and turns off when you close it. Or at least mine does.
Look into using the app Tasker to do tasks like this?
You might also give "Screebl" a try. There is a free version in the Market. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it still works on my Prime/Evo 3D.
It doesn't so much work off of being "docked" -- if that is all you want, I would agree with using Tasker as an option.
A while after it completes a charge, and the phone is on, it will give a quiet notification with a request to unplug it from the charger. Any way to turn that off?
Unplug the phone.
No easy setting to turn that off. You need to manually edit a file to disable it, don't remember which file it is though. Had to do it on my Captivate last year.
Guess I'll have to find out what that file is. That little nag is annoying.
Any idea if it is "mandatory" to disconnect? Like, is this their way of covering their butt. Will the phone\battery\charging system go bad over time if you leave it connected? I've never had this on any device I've used.
I read somewhere that it will stop charging at 100%, then operate from battery down to something like 95% before charging again. Which is why I want to kill the nag - there's no reason to disconnect.
I have a DNA that I have in my car and never take out. I use it for all sorts of things to replace my radio ect..
I have it connected to the charger but I want to be able to download an app that will force it to go into deep sleep when not charging. (ie: when the car isn't on.)
I was thinking of different ways I could help prevent the battery from draining when my car isn't started since I won't be using it.
The key is to be as lazy as possible without having to touch the phone to turn it off/on.
Does anyone know of an app or apps that would help turn the phone on/off when charging or just key features like the screen, LTE, cpu freq?
Thanks for any help.
Im looking for a Android powered GSM phone that will automatically turn itself back on if the battery is dead and power is reconnected.
I want to stash this in my vintage automobile and use tracking software to locate the vehicle in the unfortunate event its stolen. The only issue I need to solve is if the battery dies and the phone turns off how to turn it back on automatically. I plan to put the device in the door panels so access will be difficult.
Does anyone know of a phone that does this?
Not sure where to post a question like this so I figured I'd start here.

Please check NoMoarPowah! app from Chainfire - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.nomoarpowah&hl=en
NoMoarPowah! can automatically reboot into Android when charging is done. Either when fully charged, or when the battery level reaches 15% and Android has enough juice to run.
The app is known to work on the following devices -
Tested on the following devices:
- Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and family
- Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) and family
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" (P1000) and family
- Samsung Droid Charge
- Samsung/T-Mobile Sidekick 4G
- Samsung Continuum (ticker overlaps)
Awesome thank you!!
Kind of a useless app, since you have to select your option each use. May as well just plug in and power up.

you should try with Tasker (but that's not a free app, unfortunately)
Car Charging
Intelligent Approach,
I have also did the same thing but with some alteration and continue improvements to it for my vehicle security, i also did the same but putted the phone in dashboard and connected it to car cigarette lighter socket internally,(simple wiring), whenever car starts, it will start charging and Battery Booster apps Prevents Overcharge.
But currently i have hidden my Phone Near Speakers at the Back, and integrated it with Car Key less entry Remote (Car Security), so when ever some Opens my Car Doors, Car security Sends 12v Current to Siren as well as Car Charger that is connected to Mobile.
My Mobile is Programmed using an simple App that Call my Phone Number whenever It detects "Car Charger Connected" Event.
In short I get informed by my car in case of Un Authorize Access simple.
Keep it Up.

how do you detect car charger connected event programmatically?
hi greatanjum,
thanks for your interesting post.

if you flash TWRP and turn your phone off soon as it is connected to a charger it will boot into recovery, with that being said you easily the partition it boots into from recovery to system
i know this is a tad old post but it was near the top of google search so others may still find this thread useful
but samsung galaxy europa (its quite old and cheap £/$20 or less unlocked and locked) phone seem to work well for me only modification you have to make to the phone is the power button needs to be held down (at the start i used a clamp or large paperclip), so soon as power is received it turns on even after full power drain as when the charger is powered up it starts the auto charge which then checks the keys and sees the power/hangup button is pressed (power button is ignored as long as its left constantly held down so it not turn off) o and make sure sound is set to silent or the low battery warning will blaring away when it is running low (i do believe there is a extended battery you can get for the phone as well)
i use FollowMee for tracking and wheresmydroid as backup (has sms keyword triggering) FollowMee me never failed me) only issue is you need lots of account with wheresmydroid if you have more then 2 devices (assuming you want to use it to track via website if not the SMS keyword GPS one off tracking can be useful and it will use google WiFi Geolocation if GPS fails to work and a wifi access point is in range and you have mobile data) FollowMee does have a one off $3 or $6 payment for full 15-30 day history unlock (but works fine as free as well but will only show one current location at a time no history)
and disabled all automatic updates on google play (make sure you open google play a number of times with 5 minute delay between each open so it installs the newer version and let it update or it might get stuck in a loop and eat all mobile data) on the phone and push updates so only the app uses data (you could probably get away with a M2M sim as well), also set the phone to 2G only as 3G is bit flaky on samsung phones and 2G uses nearly no power as well
